Who's the bully in the gun-rights debate?

A fight has broken out on The Courant’s opinion pages over who’s the bigger bully -- state government for a law requiring gun owners to register assault weapons? Or the gun owners for loudly refusing? Gun rights activists are holding a rally Saturday at the state Capitol to protest the registration requirement. Some groups are encouraging supporters to carry handguns at the rally. Is this intimidation? Is the state of Connecticut bullying by infringing on gun owners’ Second Amendment rights? What’s your view?
